Adapted from The Spice Cookbook. We made it with turkey and it worked very well. A korma is one of the many forms of curry. Not very spicy - increase cayenne if desired. Adjust amount of water in the sauce, depending on how big your skillet is; you'll need enough to be able to properly cook the cauliflower. After the first 20 minutes of cooking, it only requires minimal attention. We recommend serving this with Basmati, a good rice used in Indian food.
Ingredients:
3 lbs chicken (cubed)
2 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup onion flakes
1/2 cup butter

1 tablespoon coriander powder
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup tomato puree

1 head cauliflower (cut into florets)
Directions:
1. Combine chicken, salt and yogurt. Mix and let marinate 2 hours.
2. Add 1/2 cup water to onion flakes and let stand 8 minutes.
3. Clarify butter by melting over low heat and removing any scum or foam from top.
